General Project DescriPtion The 37 Squadron Headquarters building at RAAF Richmond has achieved an unprecedented Green Star trifecta by adding a 5 Star Green Star - Office Interior v1 Certified rating to its two previous 5 Star Green Star ratings (Green Star - Office Design v1 and Green Star - Office As Built v1).
The project’s success in achieving its third 5 Star Green Star Certified Rating can be seen as a testament to a collaborative approach to design, project management and construction. Obtaining the rating for the fitout proved to be the most challenging, as this Green Star tool was only released towards the end of construction. The Department of Defence worked closely with a number of contractors and suppliers to achieve the 5 Star Green Star – Office Interiors v1 Certified Rating, awarded in June 2006.
